Criminal Justice, Friday, Period 1
The Danger Shop was a darkened alley today. It was too dark to see any detail if you looked around, but that would be fixed very soon.
Batman stood in front of the class in full costume, cape draped over his body as usual, showing no signs of being affected by anything in the air at all.
"When someone is killed, several levels of law enforcement become involved," Batman started, and yes, you were in a darkened alley when Batman was talking about people being killed. If you were good detectives, you could probably already figure out that you were going to see a simulated corpse. If you were a bad detective, you might think Batman was about to kill you. But come on, he doesn't kill, guys.
"Uniformed officers will tape off the scene to protect it and take an initial look around. Where's the body? Are you sure they're dead? Is the cause of death seemingly obvious from any visible wounds? Is there any evidence around? Are there any witnesses? They will be the first on the scene, and first impressions matter."
"Then we have crime scene analysts. These aren't the door-busting action heroes you see on TV. They're scientists. They dive into the hard data and give you answers. It's not glamorous, but it gives extensive information about how someone died," Batman said. "They can recreate the moment of a crime by using the physics of blood splatter, investigating the angle of wounds, and even how the body landed on the ground."
"And then you have the detectives. It's their job to compile all of the information given to them by the officers and the analysts, run it against their accumulated knowledge from their years as police, and start piecing together what exactly happened and who did it. But it all starts with the crime scene," Batman said. "Like the uniformed officers, they'll walk the scene, but with a more analytical eye. Looking for any evidence or anything that seems out of place. Making instant estimations based on how the scene looks based on what they've seen in the past and learned about how people tend to kill each other. Because most people tend to do it in similar ways."
"You probably expected it by now, but your activity today," Batman said, pressing a button on the remote that was still hidden under his cape to light the alley enough to actually see, "is to investigate the scene. If you're squeamish, try not to look at the body. It's fairly realistically rendered. Look around, make notes, but be aware that every step you take could potentially destroy evidence. So be careful."

Listen to the Lecture
Be a CSI!
If the students went all out, they would find that the victim had a cell phone in his pocket but no wallet, suggesting it might have been a simple robbery gone wrong.
There were no reasonably traceable footsteps from the killer, but there were a couple drops of blood on the victim's sleeve and - if anyone could notice this in a dark alley - there was a small trail of blood drops heading out of the alley that the scientists would find.
Any other details can be modded within reason, please!
Re: Be a CSI!
Maddie wouldn't be hitting on anyone in this class.
She'd totally killed a guy once and been fine with it, but she wasn't really okay with dead bodies and blood. It just made her uncomfortable (especially after the Jeremy thing) so that probably meant she wasn't a sociopath, right? So mostly she was spending class trying not to pay too much attention.
Re: Be a CSI!
Then, mercifully, it shut down and Karina was as far away from the corpse as possible and resolutely not looking. And no one could make her!
God, this was so wrong.
